Notes: Originally placed under genus Keratilum. Soft cushions with wide oscules on elevations. Orange to salmon skin; interior bright orange. Creamy, lighter colored stripes radiate from an equally lighter oscular rim. Spicules are straight strongyles to strongyloxeas, with one end slightly thicker, almost like a subtylostyle. This is most likely the same as Batzella rosea van Soest, 1984.
